Courtship in France.

This is the way they court in France:
One lady says to another: MY daugh-
ter is eighteen. She has so much. "
Every girl has a dowry, if it be but
500 francs (Sl0O) You have known
her from a child. You see so many
young men, cannot you think of one TO
suit her?'
OF course the lady can; for men are
as eager in France to marry as the
girls are to get husbands. 1t is an
increase of fortune, and d patent of
respectability in all stations, in all pro-
fessions. The young man IS spoken to,
and, of course, the young lady named
to him. A party Is given, and they
meet Then the girl, supposed TO be
in entire ignorance up TO this point, IS
asked how she should like so and SO for
her husband. Then the mamma of the
bridegroom comes one evening when
the house has been set In order, and
everybody dressed in his best. And
after the first salutation she rises, and
in a solemn voice asks the hand OF
Mile. Estelle for N. Achille. Then the,
mamma on the opposite side of the,
house accepts the offer. EStelle weeps.
and throws herself into her future
mothers arms, while the son-ln-law
embraces the mother of his intended.
The pspa's shake hands, the betrothed
lovers, released from the maternal
arms, mutually bow to each other, and
the servants bring In tea. The bride
groom comes every evening with d
groom comes every evening with a
grand bouquet, which he offers TO
mademoiselle, flirts an hour or two with
the mother, bows to the daughter and
goes OF.
The brlde-elect has only to embroider
quietly by her mothers side, to smile,
to blush and simper. Then the uego-
tiating lady come in great state, pre-
ceded by an enormous trunk mamma
and the bride receive her, never, of
course, needing the trunk, and pre-
sents the bride with a cOrbeIlle-namely,
the wedding dress, veil and wreath,
two or three Cashmere shawls, ditto
velvet dresses, a set of furs, set of
diamonds, a watch, fan, a prayer book
and a purse of gold. These come from
TIE bridegroom. In return the lady
gets bracelet from the bride, with
many thanks for the presents and the
husband At last comes the signing
of the contract. The bride takes one
step into the world. She receives her
visitors and speaks, nay, converses
with all except the intended-that
would be improper. She gives tokens
of her affection to her unmarried rele-
tlves, bought from the purse in the
| cOTbelLe. The wonders OF this corbeflLe
are displayed In one room, while the
trousseau of the bride. given by the
mother. is exhibited in another. En-
broidery, linen, cambria, laces, etc.
are here lavished on the personal cloth
ing OF the bride, made up in dozens and
dozens of each article, with piles upon
piles of table cloths, sheets, towels,
etc, all marked with embroidered
marks and tied with pink and blue rib
bons- Then comes tie civil ceremony,
and two days after. the last scene OF
all, at which We have assisted, in the
Church of st. Sulpice.

Money in Cuba

Money in Santiago de Cuba is a
scarce article, and to change IS gold
piece would take a days travel, and
invariable the change Of Amerlcan)
would have a hole punched in each
piece. This is done, am informed, to
keep the money in the country. L do
not remember OF seeing on the island of
Cuba a piece of American money in
circulation without a hole IN it.
American paper money Is of no value
fol- general trade in Santiago, and
Cuban paper money will not pass at all.
Money being so scarce the greater part
of the trade is carried on by barter
among the general public, and the
money is held by the few exporters and
garler dealers.

Gold in Ancient Cemeteries.

The gold which is now being dug out
of the ancient cemeteries (huacasl at
HIlandia, Central America, and other
places near Terelra, has led more than
Loo workmen to that spCt, and a
town has sprung up there within the
last four years which now contains
more than 30, 900 inhabitants. Public
attention is being turned 70 those re-
gions, as the ancient burial places and
deposits of the wealthy Cacique Cara
cal have not yet been discovered, and
it is believed that mis- treasures were
immensely more valuable than any
which has yet been unearthed-

the politest way possible: Monsieur.

To any good end.

The owl usually boots three times.
When this uncanny bird forgets itself
and increases the number of boots to
four or five, the plantation negroes re-
gard it as an omen of sickness, starva-
tion or death. To kill cat means that
the person who did the killing will
have seven years of bad luck. To catch
water snake on your fishing line is a
sure sign that your enemies are trying
TO entrsp and kIll you. Thus the

In short t1me however, its was refused to all

In which lie gives two reasons first the hope of in
creasing the list OF exchange subscribers or pre-
